T-Rav's Sockpuppet Theater Presents: Sassafracas

And then there were five. . . Apparently, Jon Huntsman's "ticket to ride" didn't get him all the way to South Carolina. And while he and his campaign were begging for bus fare in Newark, they got robbed of the will to continue. So he's packing up his bags and heading back to China, leaving the rest of us to struggle on without his smugness. You will be missed Jon. . . by someone.

While we wait for the debate to begin, riddle me this: what movie character would you most/least want to see as President?

I think things could get very interesting if Dr. Evil were POTUS. More so if he were President of the World. We would have to raise the presidential salary to One MILLION Dollars, but that's still pretty cheap.

I think Captain Kirk would make a good president. I don't really know much about him beyond the Star Trek debates, but those make him sound like a good leader. Plus, it would be a fitting end to William Shatner's career.

Rambo. I really think that after President Teleprompter we need a President of few words.

Gene Hackman from practically anything.

One thing about having Doctor Evil as President, is that everyone would be walking on eggshells around us, lol.Plus, sharks with freaking lasers!Oh, and Dr. Evil would liquidate all the useless govt. agencies.Who wouldn't weanna see that?

Last suggestion (maybe): Sam from Burn Notice or Bruce Campbell in anything he's done. Definitely would be cool and funny. :^)

This starts at 9:00 EST, right? Maybe I'll spend the hour beforehand catching this new "Alcatraz" show on Fox. It's got the paleontologist dude from Jurassic Park, and the fat guy from Lost, and it kinda looks Lost-esque, so it can't be bad, right?

Well, I guess we should have seen this coming. The South Carolina Democratic Party and the Congressional Black Caucus are whining that the Republicans are showing disrespect by having a debate on Martin Luther King day. Never mind that the Black Caucus and CNN sponsored a debate in the same state on the same holiday in 2008.

I missed the part about least wanted as president. I'm having trouble deciding between Tyler Durden and Jar Jar Binks. I like Durden, but I suspect he is something less than presidential material. On the other hand, even though Binks is a senator in Attack of the Clones, that's no guarantee of presidential ability either.

Santorum asked a question that has considerable validity about felons voting. But he doesn't seem to realize that about half of America totally disagrees with his position, however reasonable it may be.

The problem with arguing with Santorum is not that he actually makes good points -- he doesn't, he spews liberal talking points, but that he's suck a prick that he makes everyone he clings to sound bad. It's like fighting with a two year old.
